📅 Recorded on September 17, 2024
🌐 Microsoft Teams Webinar

Webinar Details

A new era is emerging, and changes are underway with how Microsoft delivers, bundles, and classifies Microsoft 365 licenses. As organizations tighten their budgets in a rough economy, it’s critical to understand what is on the licensing horizon for your organization and Microsoft. Ensure your organization maximizes its Microsoft 365 investment and isn't caught off guard by increased costs.  

Watch as Jay Gundotra, CEO of ENow Software, and Ben Marshall, Licensing Optimization expert and Global Head of Sales for Microsoft Licensing (CSP) at HP, clarify the future of Microsoft licensing. They discuss:

  • Clarity around Microsoft changes: Simplification and direction on how Microsoft is changing the delivery of their Microsoft Commerce Agreement, how the licensing market is evolving, and how that could impact previous discounts on Microsoft EA licenses.  

  • Developing a Microsoft 365 licensing strategy: Ways to optimize your budget, provide provable ROI through usage reporting, and reuse those dollars on security or new technology such as Microsoft Copilot. 

  • Options moving forward: How to ensure that your Microsoft 365 investment and licensing structure continues to increase end-user productivity, reduce the cost of doing business, while also mitigating risks. 

  • Tips, recommendations, and solutions: Gain insights on how to quickly identify overlapping, underutilized, and inactive licenses and when you are at the threshold for a specific SKU type – potentially saving your organization 5-10% on Microsoft EA licenses. We’ll show you how to efficiently manage Microsoft 365 licenses. 

As technology and business transform, the need to stretch the IT budget grows. Prepare and prevent your organization from being blindsided by additional license costs. Join our webinar on Tuesday, September 17th and gain valuable insights into the future of IT software procurement and Microsoft 365 license management.
